Description
Alberta’s Specified Gas Reporting Program has collected facility greenhouse gas emissions data since 2003, and is a core component of Alberta’s 2008 Climate Change Strategy. In 2005 (for 2004 emissions data collection), Alberta harmonized its Specified Gas Reporting Program with the Government of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program. Since then, Alberta has jointly collected greenhouse gas data from Alberta’s largest industrial emitters with the Government of Canada. Alberta facilities report their emissions data to Environment Canada through the federal reporting program and the results are forwarded to Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, allowing both provincial and federal reporting requirements to be satisfied. To improve the value of data collected through the reporting program, and to further enhance the synergy with the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, in 2010 Alberta lowered the emissions threshold level for mandatory reporting from 100,000 tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) in a calendar year to 50,000 tCO2e. For the 2010 calendar year and subsequent years, any facilities whose emissions exceed 50 kilotonnes (kt) in a calendar year are required to report their greenhouse gas emissions to comply with the Specified Gas Reporting Regulation.
